Crying mother top

Crying mother top

Located in the south of Haiyang Island, Changhai County, Dalian City, it is the highest peak of Changshan Archipelago, with an altitude of 373 meters (originally 388 meters, militarily known as 388 highland, because the mountain top is flattened, the altitude is reduced). Pines and cypresses stand on the mountain, evergreen all the year round.

"Crying niangding" is located in the south of Haiyang Island, the highest peak in the territory. It is said that a long time ago, there was a 14-year-old orphan in Shandong Province. In order to support his widowed mother, he took a boat to dig ginseng in the mountains and forests of Kanto. The orphan went out early and came back late for many years. He worked hard, dug a lot of ginseng and sold a lot of money. At this time, he thought of his long sick mother and went back to Shandong by boat. On the way, the ship encountered strong wind and sailed into the ocean island bay to take shelter from the wind. The orphan got out of the boat and lay on the beach for a while because of seasickness and vomiting. He fell asleep unconsciously. When the wind stopped and the sky was clear, the owner threw him on the island and sailed away. When he woke up, the boat was gone. After looking for a long time, he found a sailboat in the distance. Seeing that all the money he had gained from his hard work had been cheated by the shipowner, the orphan thought that he could not go back to Shandong now, leaving his mother unattended. The more I thought about it, the sadder I was. I climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at my hometown day and night. Later generations praised their filial piety and called this mountain "crying niangding".
